 LONDON, Aug. 2.-An election was helc 1 to-day in the Bridgeton division o | Glasgow to fill the parliamentary seat made
 vacant by the resignation of MT. E.R Russell 1 ihome ruIe) who at the last election received 4,634 against 3,537 for his Conservative op- ponent, Mr. Colin Mackenzie. The election ! to-day resulted in the return of Sir George Otto Trevelyan, the Liberal candidate, by a | vote of 4, 654, Evelyn Ashley, the Conserva' | tive, receiving 3,353.
 Sir George Otto Trevelyan's victory is felt l in Conservative circles to be the seyerest blow the Unionists' cause has experienced. Intense interest pervaded the clubs this even- ing The Carlton, the National Liberal, the
 Reform and others were thronged with mem-
 bers at 10 p. m. awaiting news of the result.
 Each side attached supreme importance to the election as the first fought since the gen eral election between Gladstonian and Liberal Unionist, the other contests having been between Conservatives and Gladston- ians. The leaders on both sides actively joined in the fray, MT. Gladstone's speech on Friday and the letters of MT. Bright, Mr. Chamberlain, Lord Harrington and Sir William Vernon Harcourt being specially in- tended to influence the result. The Union ists expected Trevelyan would be returned, the character of the constituency, which consists of purely radical workmen infused with large Irish element. making it safe Gladstonian seat. But they were also conf dent of the reduction of the former majority, which would prove the beginning of a reac- tion in Scotland from faith in MT. Gladstone. The increase in the Gladstone vote has caus- ed panic among the Unionists. When the result of the election became known in the House members de5e1 led the benches and locked to the Hobbies, where they earnestly discussed the political outlook. The home rulers were jubilant. The 1ninisterialists ad- init that modification of the Irish policy is probable under this conclusive proof of the the spread of Gladstonianism. The section of the Conservative party which was pressing the cabinet to proclaim the National league was on the verge of success, but it is thought the efforts of these Conservatives will now be intellectual and that all the efforts of the government will be releyed. It is thought also that another result will be that MT. Gladstone will be more chaIy of promis- ing concessions to the Unionists.
 Sir George Trevelyan in a speech this eve- ming said his victory made it next to impos- sible for the government to proclaim the Irish National league. The election largely settled the Irish question. Henceforth Ire land must be treated in spirit of concilia- tion, kindness and cor fdence.
 About one-helf of the one hundred foot trestle crossing at EI7jng bridge broke away at 11:30 to-ni[nt, having started about pm. Thirty feet more is twisted out of shape and over twenty feet of the embark ment at the eastern end has washed out. All through trains are blocked. No trains have crossed since the heavy eest bound express with five cars passed over shortly after pm. No trains can possibly be run over the break under two days. Several small washouts have occurred along the roadbed on which the section gang is now at work.
